And I had the same reaction when I first saw that as I did when reading this. Somehow it's kind of flattering that somebody thinks so highly of Ay Ziggy Zoomba that they want to adapt it, but at the same time, I feel like it's something that should stay firmly at BG. It sounds kinda b*st*rdized with other schools' names in it.

In my mind, some traditions are overall collegiate traditions that are ok at nearly any school. Sweet Caroline, Hey Baby, throwing co-ed's into the air the number of times equal to the amount of points the home team has, things of that nature. But other things, like Ay Ziggy Zoomba, Rocky Top, Troy's "Burn the Horse," or Script Ohio (I don't like it, but it should remain tOSU's), among others, should remain solidly the traditions of one school.

I maybe wrong, but doesn't UNC try to claim Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba was their song first? That pisses me off more than this. At least Harbaugh states where he learned the song.

Yes, they do from what I've seen.

Dr. Cartwright heckled Harbaugh a bit about this tonight at the 1959 dinner. She read the article and told him to "expect a letter from our legal counsel on Monday" :lol:
"I don't believe I can name a coach, anywhere, anytime, anyhow, who did it better than Doyt Perry."
